 Wow! - Personal best score; put my front page all over a 6; and an HM to boot! Not bad for the first entry back after an extended hiatus. ;)

Great shot. I took a few of "The Bean" when I visited Chigaco (as does everyone else) but none were quite as nice.

Really wonderful image of the "Bean"! I especially like the fog around the tops of the buildings.

I've seen quite a few shots taken from this location over the years, and this one stands out, head and shoulders above the rest. Very nice!

Very nice use of the reflection. Good color and sharpness.

Wow, love the composition of this shot. Looks like the Bean in Chicago. I think the POV view adds drama to the image. Great elements that you've captured; the mist around the skyscrapers, the capture of the skyline in (on?) the bean, the people give the elements scale, great reflections from the wet ground. This should be a top ten, a ribbon if not the blue. Bump to 10.

I love the fog and the smoothness of the reflective object.

Back to bump. I think this is a shoe in for the front page - 10.

Beautifully photographed. This 'bean' is nothing unique to DPC, but the way you shot it definitely is. One of my top picks.
